The weather is back to the usual pattern and the temperature is rising again. We left Hvar sailed past the point of Jerolim and headed west along the Pakleni islands, close hauled into the light southwesterly with full main and jib. Had to tack a couple of times, and in front of Dobri island turned downwind to enter Solina bay. There were a few charge boats there, but we found a good place to anchor near flat rocks with good shade nearby. We took our stuff ashore with the dinghy and only than I realised that what I thought was a deep bay was actually a rather open bay and an island. Our anchorage would be exposed to the afternoon maestrale. That didn't take long to kick-up and suddenly there was mayhem as our anchorage became a lee shore. We left in a hurry, with the only casualty being the dinghy that got punctured by sharp rocks.
We sailed eastwards to the next bay, the well sheltered and fly now familiar Taršće, where we spent another relaxing day.
